Design Star

I admit to being a huge fan of HGTV; but like so many other fans these days, I keep wondering what are the producers of Design Star thinking???? What happened to fun and laughter (don't even get me started on talent)? They've put some of the most vivacious HGTV stars as judges for this show, but I have yet to see them crack a smile. Every time they come into the elimination studio (which takes up half the show time these days), they are so stern and somber. Hey Vern, Genevieve, and Candace, how about a little mentoring and encouragement and for goodness sakes laugh once in a while? And here's another suggestion - how about kicking off those mediocre people who constantly fly under the radar? They aren't good, they aren't bad, but they are definitely BLAH! This format of a designer being the best one week and the worst the next shows someone who is willing to take a risk!!! True, not every design can be a homerun out of the park, but by giving them the ax so quickly, you end up losing all your talent before the season is over. How about putting the design back into Design Star and get rid of the drama?
